9.2.6 Indicating When to Start the Watchdog Routine

the time for starting the driver’s watchdog interface. Although this task is
optional, we recommend that all network drivers perform this task.

ifp->if_timer = 3;

}

Sets the time (in seconds) for starting the if_el driver’s watchdog( )
routine, called el_watch( ). After the transmit complete interrupt is
received, the interrupt service routine sets if_timer back to zero,
thereby disabling the watchdog timer.
